Ok, I read up on Taulman and I read both bills, worded almost identically. I don't like what Taulman is about, and he is using scare tactics. He says "states could lock you NR's out". Guess what? They already can. They're not doing it because they don't want to and it wouldn't make business sense. These bills change nothing. Very much like the well intentioned but empty Montana bill last November that reaffirmed opportunity to hunt.

Reid, Udall, and Baucus do not care about states rights! They do empty bills like this to make it look to their constituents that they are not federalists. I don't know much about the other names on these bills, but Taulman is a lesser evil than these three!

These are do nothing, feel good, "reaffriming" bills that waste congress's time and I'm not supporting them. That does not mean I like Taulman's ideals. It means I'm going to focus on what scope to buy for this coming season.
